GIVE ITO THE ORPHANS.

A Liberal DonasiOn Urgently Desired
 For the New Haven Orphan Asylum.
 To-day, Donation day at the New Haven orphan asylum, will it is hoped yield large harvest as the needs of the asylum are this year particularly urgent, the institution hav- ing but $1 in the treasury, that being all that is left of a sum which had to be bor- rowed to carry the institution along until now-the extra expense having been owing to the making of necessary repairs and im- provements. Therefore, a long pull and pull altogether is what is needed to-day and no doubt a generous and charitable public will willingly give the needed aid. The pro- cession of teams will form opposite Bunnell & Scranton's banking house at o'clock and proceed thence to the asylum and will be due there at about 4 o'clock. It's arrival there will be eagerly awaited by the throngs of friends of the asylum and of the noble char. ity which it represents who will have gath cred in the building before that hour. Upon the committees arrival bringing their sheaves with them the principal exercises at the asy- lum will begin, and there'will be speeches by several of the active and prominent friends of the asylum and other exercises, including the presentation of prizes. Let the contribution to-day be noble one.

PLUMAGE.

If beauty would purchase indemnity
for every fault, those skillful productions
of the milliner's art, radiant at this sea-
son in plumage of beautiful birds, would
certainly come forth from under the fiat
of condemnation which rests upon them.
Never before has so much been said
against the destruction of the winged
denizens of forest and field. reaching a
climax in the organization of Audubon
and similar societies and never has the
trade in birds and plumage reached such
enormous proportions as at the present
time.
There is plea for the birds on one
hand, and plea for the bonnets on the
other; the former strong and pathetic,
and the latter less audible, though seem
lngly more powerful. Doubtless all
regret the sacrifice of life, ard the DOS
S1ble determination of many species of
our most beautiful birds, however it is
urged by some that this prevailing STYLE
has brought from the deserts of Africa
from Greenland, from all the wild and
unknown places of earth this gorgeous
wealth of dazzling beauty to delight the
eye OF man which might otherwise have
wasted on the sea and sky The fin
est artificial flowers used for millinery
purpose are but poor imitation, and the
fashion for plumage decoration. has
been the outgrowth of woman's love for
the beautiful in nature. How much
more desirable are the tairy-like aigretts
OF the esret, or the trembling silvery
P(on-PI0nS of the Marabou or anv other
OF the wonderful combinations of feathers
compared with the imitation of flowers !
II IS the preference of nature to art-.tha
work OF God to that of man. We natur-
"Ay prefer Whatever IS genuine for dec
oraFlVe purposes, as we pluck the wild
Mowers tor our adornment, in preference
to the artificial however our taste will
notJustity the sacrifices of life, or the
loss experienced in the destruction Of
our bright winged and musical birds
Perhaps few realize the extent OF tbe
trade in plumage or the incredible re-
qulrements of this unnecessary fashion.

whole world contribute to the demand

recommended above any other. Who
does not regret the sacrifice of that little
trembling sunbeam-the little humming
bird. So beautiful as it sports over flower
beds or sinks into the great fragrant cups
like ray oflight These birds in South
America are much more brilliant than
our own, and are imported in great
numbers.
The plumage of the peacock, that
argus eyed domestic fowl OF magnificent
costume, has somewhat fallen into dis
favor but is still used in decorative art.
Perhaps the preference in plumage
should be given to the glorious bird of
paradise. The graceful form of their
feathers, their brilliant color glistening
with irldescence, entitle them to great
favor. Hunters in securing these birds
resort to the inhuman method of shooting
off their legs, thus procuring the body
without injury.
The beautiful feathers ofthe pheasant,
are much used, particularly those
of the Impeyan pheasant, remark
able for its brilliant plumage.
This noble bird inhabits the Himalava.
living among the highest peaks, and is
said to never descend to the lowlands
It's life in its high home would doubtless
be one of happiness, but for the invasion
OF man who seeks it for its estimable
quality to the fashionable world.
The southern states, particularly
Florida contribute vastly to the trade in
plumage. Brilliant parrots, macaw-
crested grebes, silver white egrets and
many other beautiful birds which inhabit
the south are sacrificed yearly in great
numbers. The plumage of southern
birds is easily distinguished from that Of
those OF the north, being far more CAV
and brilliant, while the latter is none the
less beautiful in its subdued and silverv
SottneSs' seemingly taking the tints Of
the purl1ng waters, or the frost-fringad
streams which they inhabit.
It's thought BY some that this wapton
obstruction of birds can only be prohibited
by laws enacted for the purpose of their
protection but let us sincerely hone tbot
true womanhood will assert its higher
prerogative, and set veto on this fash
ION winch demands such agreat sacrifice.

"In your instructions to your pa

directions concerning diet. This has
great effect on the minds of old wom-
Ell, especially, if their maladies are in

list of what is to be eaten at breakfast,
dinner and supper. and you may de-
pend upon being made the subject of
conversation, and will be considered
very clever.
